Russian President, Vladimir Putin   Russian politicians and high-ranking figures have reportedly received a warning from President Vladimir Putin to fly home their loved-ones and relatives living abroad to the  'Motherland' , amid heightened tensions over the prospect of global war.   According to the  Dailymail UK , administration staff, regional administrators, lawmakers of all levels and employees of public corporations have been ordered to take their children out of foreign schools immediately, adding that failure to act will see officials jeopardising their chances of promotion, local media has reported.   The exact reason for the order is not yet clear.   This development is coming after President Putin cancelled a planned visit to France amid a furious row over Moscow's role in the Syrian conflict.   Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has also warned that the world is at a  'dangerous point'  due to rising t...

Sergio Romero: Always Ready

Image
Sergio Romero might only have played two games so far this season but he's impressed on both occasions, something he puts down to the "great job" being done by Manchester United's coaches in training. Due to David De Gea's excellence between the posts, the Argentina no.1's opportunities have been somewhat restricted following his arrival in the summer of 2015. He enjoyed a good run of games at the start of his Reds career, but De Gea has since remained fit and in form, meaning Romero has been forced to watch on from the bench. The man himself remains positive on the situation and he had nothing but praise for United's coaching staff for the way they ensure all the senior goalkeepers are ready whenever needed. "Broadly speaking, we are working really well together," he declared in an interview  ManUtd.com . "We have two coaches, Silvinho [Louro] and Emilio [Alvarez], and I think that myself, David and Sam [Johnstone] are wor...

Why is Manchester United's home ground called 'Theatre of Dreams? by Andrea United

Image
I would like to explain the reason of Old Trafford being called "The Theatre of Dreams" through a story. Here it goes: Railway workmen came together to play football once and dared to dream. A dream to make something more of their lives. That is Manchester United. . The team lost its first ever competitive game 6-0 to Bolton Reserves. . It got relegated in its second season of competitive football. . In January 1902, it was asked to shut down because of debts.  It didn't. Instead it came back up and won the league, a FA Cup and a charity shield 2 years later.  That is Manchester United. From 1922 to 1940, United were relegated again and again and again. Faced with bankruptcy in 1931, United were on the verge of disaster again. Instead, the team held on and fought on.  Finishing 2nd in 1947, 1948 and 1949; 1st in '52, 55 and 56. It won the FA Cup in 1948 and became the first English team to play in Europe. It had to...
